Husain Abdulla, originally from Bahrain, is the founder and Executive
Director of Americans for Democracy and Human Rights in Bahrain. As
Executive Director, Husain leads the organization’s efforts to ensure
that U.S. policies support the democracy and human rights movement in
Bahrain. Husain also works closely with members of the Bahraini-American
community to ensure that their voices are heard by U.S. government
officials and the broader American public. In 2012, the Government of
Bahrain revoked Husain's Bahraini citizenship in retaliation for his
peaceful advocacy for the respect for human rights in his home country.
Husain holds a Master’s degree in Political Science and International
Relations from the University of West Florida and a BA in Political
Science and Mathematics from the University of South Alabama. See
